"Let's go. Except for the people who are responsible for protecting me, everyone else should take Yiya with them. Whether we can escape this time depends on this time..." After repeating the process of escaping, defending, and escaping again, Yiya, I and the Yi warriors accidentally ran into a place similar to a canyon. After using detection magic to find no way out, I had no choice but to let the remaining warriors of the group take the seriously injured Yiya and flee into the valley first, while I prepared to take 10 warriors with good archery skills and fast speed to cover their retreat.

"Sir..." After hearing what I said, the seriously injured Yiya immediately struggled to get up. Her face, which had just recovered, turned pale again.

"Don't say anything. This is my order. None of you have the right to object. Now, listen to my order and retreat immediately. If you continue to nag, then you will really murder me and other people who stayed behind. Only if you run fast, can I and other survivors leave as soon as possible... Now, go... Get out!" The look of those survivors who were reluctant to leave reminded me of the soap operas I saw on Earth. In those soap operas, it was often after wasting a lot of words and emotions on such scenes that a single step led to tragedy and bitter consequences. Of course, I don't want to step into the situations that those protagonists often encounter. Decisiveness and speed are the most basic elements in this situation.

After beating and kicking those people away, I immediately set a trap on the edge of the cliff. A large number of magic scrolls and a dense silver thread leading to our escape route became my main way to deal with and delay the orcs.

"Let's go!" After desperately blocking an attack by the orcs, I randomly released several large-scale fog magic spells in the direction of the orcs, and then started to escape quickly with the 10 survivors.

After casting wind acceleration magic on those survivor warriors, I ignored everything else and flew towards the location of the preset dense silver wire. I couldn't care about the life and death of those 10 warriors at all. I just left it to fate!

Panting, I ran to a big tree, hurriedly pulled out the dense silver thread, and desperately poured magic power into it. . . . . A few seconds later, when a large number of orcs ran up the cliff, the magic scrolls I had buried in advance were activated, and with a thunderous roar, almost half of the cliff collapsed. . . . Except for the best orcs who happened to rush up the cliff, the rest were basically caught in my trap, and ordinary orc warriors suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing more than a dozen orcs being thrown off the cliff by the blast of a dozen orcs' flaming balls and tumbling and wailing at the explosion site, just when I thought I had a chance to take back the silver thread and give them some more fun, something unexpected happened. The remaining nearly a hundred orc warriors, without any hesitation, flew over them and rushed towards me without hesitation.

"Damn!" There was no time to think about anything. As soon as I discovered this situation, I turned around and ran like an arrow, and from time to time I cast a fog magic behind the survivors who were desperately fleeing behind me.

"Damn humans, despicable humans..." Just as I was fleeing madly with 10 surviving warriors, the fox princess Riyana was angrily cursing me and my subordinates.

From being deceived by the stream to further sneak attacks, and then having half of the cliff blown up by some unknown method, at least 20 of his own people died in the two accidents, and nearly 50 people were injured.

What made her even more angry was that from here on, the enemy could no longer find a place to hold on except for some messy trees. But as the damn magician randomly released the fog magic, she and her subordinates did not dare to run at will. Up to now, in the less than 1 kilometer distance, almost all the warriors chasing those humans had close contact with trees or mountain walls. Even if it was me, if I hadn't used my extraordinary sharp sense, I would have made a fool of myself long ago.

"Follow me closely, don't run around..." Seeing the distance between her and the human warriors getting bigger and bigger, Reyana was furious. While ordering the soldiers to follow, Reyana used her mental perception ability to rush forward quickly. The trees along the way that could have blocked her progress were basically in trouble, and almost all of them were blown up. In this way, not only did Reyana's forward speed increase a lot, but also the fox warriors behind her could quickly line up and move forward.

After penetrating several areas of fog magic, Riyana became more energetic, not caring about the consumption of her own fighting spirit, and rushed into the next fog group at a more ferocious speed. But when she led the snake-like team into the fog, a dazzling lightning flashed from the fog in an instant. . . . . .

“Damn it…” When the lightning just appeared, Riana knew that she had made another mistake. After successfully passing through several fogs, she actually forgot that the other party was a magician.

When the streak of lightning instantly passed through Ruiana's body and spread to the back along the long dragon-like team, Ruiana's mind was almost blank. . . . .

After a long time, when she heard a cry from behind, she finally came to her senses. Turning around and looking at the group of trembling subordinates in front of her, she stroked the pendant on her chest, secretly feeling happy in her heart.

In addition to the magic-proof necklace on Ruiyana's body, which was known as the treasure of the clan, she was also glad that the magician of the other side did not take advantage of the situation. If the enemy troops counterattacked at this time, she was afraid that she would be able to annihilate the enemy, and the number of casualties that her people might suffer was not what she wanted to see.

But how could Riyana know that I would never bet my life without absolute certainty? At this moment, I had already released a powerful chain of lightning and fled, without even planning to see the effect of my magic in the fog.

After a while, Ruiyana led the recovered fox warriors to continue to outflank, hoping to catch up with those despicable humans as soon as possible. From the general terrain, there was either a valley or a circular basin in front. If they were lucky, they could probably block those humans inside.

"Princess, the valley ahead is full of fog. I don't know if it was released by the magician, but the fog here is a little larger and a little thinner... If we go in, we won't be able to find them unless we are very close. You see..." Looking at the fog in the valley, a fox warrior respectfully asked Riana for instructions.

“Everyone line up in two lines and keep a distance as you go in. As long as we don’t let them get away, we don’t need to be afraid of them with our strength. Maybe the fog was released because they hit a wall up ahead, and they’re planning to take advantage of the chaos to escape from here…” After surveying the valley, Riana gave the order to move forward, but before she finished her words, a group of humans suddenly rushed out of the fog, as if they had seen a ghost, and rushed towards them with pale faces. Many of these humans didn’t even know where they had dropped their weapons. . . . .

“Roar~~~You lowly and useless humans, how dare you invade my territory… I will let you know the consequences of offending me…” After a roar, a voice that made Riyana’s hair stand on end came out of the mist. At this time, not only the fleeing humans, but also many fox warriors were trembling… (To be continued)
